Tall stepped plinth with lions at angles, lofty coursed pedestal with bronze bas-reliefs and great fluted granite column with bronze Corinthian capital surmounted by the stone statue of Nelson. Noteworthy quality of the 4 bas-relief panels on the pedestal, depicting Nelson's famous naval victories. Landseer's lions were cast by Baron Marochetti between 1858 and 1867. Trafalgar Square, known as such from 1830, owes its town planning origin to an initial proposal of Nash's of 1811-12 fully elaborated andlaid out as the major executed feature of Nash's Metropolitan - West Strand improvements of 1824-26.
